If he hired part time did he let part time people work part time? Anyone who demands six days a week isn’t a good employer. I’d sure as fuck agree on the not coming back on Monday part if that were the case. I’m not giving my life for someone else’s business.

So yeah, if my coworkers won't finish the job in time, I will have to and if not, the administration will be all over my ass as to why the production wasn't achieved. So yeah, they can go home after their 8 hours. It does not bode well for the future tough.
I hear you. I get the weekly and daily goals in the morning. I work hard as fuck and I’m totally focused until I’m finished. All I’ve heard is I’m the best at the position in years or ever. I just don’t allow surprise extra shit right at the end of my day. They can take it or leave it. Like I said, I’m keeping some time and energy for myself. I believe I’m better than the next man up and that they know that and that’s why I can set limits and still add value. If I get an official write up for refusing extra work I’ll re-evaluate but on paper my personnel file is spotless. I’m not looking to advance or earn a raise. I’ve told them directly that having what I consider a healthy work/life balance is more important to me. When management gets stacked with work they frown when I leave but the deal is they make more than me and they chose to take on more responsibility for more pay. I’d rather cut back on things like cable tv and going out to eat and even driving when it comes to it.
